Package: netbase Version: 4.39 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
The new setting breaks the webserver weborf, which listens to an ipv6 socket, expecting to receive connections from both ipv6 and ipv4 clients. I've read this: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-de...@lists.debian.org/msg277726.html and i've followed the link to the rfc, where i couldn't find any indication that servers should use dual stack rather then a single ipv6 socket. I also point out that dual stack wastes system resources. I didn't try weborf on hurd/bsd/solaris but i did try it on OsX, and it is able to accept connections from both ipv4 and ipv6. Dealing with addresses like ::ffff:3.14.3.2 in the logfiles doesn't seem like a big issue to me. In fact one would deal with only one format (ipv6) rather than dealing with logs containging entries with ipv4 addresses and entries with ipv6 addresses. Tools for scanning the logs would have to deal with only one case rather than two different cases. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32ares (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages netbase depends on: ii initscripts 2.87dsf-8 scripts for initializing and shutt ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages netbase recommends: ii ifupdown 0.6.9 high level tools to configure netw netbase suggests no packages. -- debconf information: netbase/upgrade-note/etc-network-interfaces-pre-3.17-1: netbase/upgrade-note/init.d-split-pre-3.16-1: netbase/upgrade-note/radius-ports-pre-3.05: netbase/upgrade-note/portmap-restart-pre-3.11-2: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
